EXPLANATION BY JAMES JACKSON, EDITOR, | "SHE WORKER", REGARDING SOVIET COMPLAINT εἰ} CONCERNING HIS REQUEST FOR MONEY

It will be recalled that in the latter part of September, 1964, καὶ representative of the Soviet United Nations Mission in New York City complained bitterly concerning a request which had been received from JAMES JACKSON, Editor, "The Worker", for money. The Soviet representatives stated they were very upset and concerned about JACKSON's request and wanted to he advised why this request wae made in the manner made since ail financial transactions were normally to be handled through

channels".

In regard to the above matter, there was occasion during the latter part of November, 1964 to personally discuss this complaint of the Soviets with JIM JACKSON. In oxplaining this matter, JACKSON adamantly stated that he had never asked anyone in the United Nations specifically for money. JACKSON then went on to explain that thexe ara hundreds of people at the United Nations working as press representatives for the various socialist countries. He stated that all of these press people live very well in this country, have good apartments, have cara, etc. He stated that he had once suggested while talking to some of these preas people, in hia capacity as editor of “The Yorker, that if these preas people at the United Nations could see fit to perhaps send anonymously mayha $5 or 30 a wonth either to the Party ar to “The Worker", this could represent 8 aubstantial amount and be of great assistance ta the people and the Party. However, he stated he never specifically asked for any money and had only suggested the above contribution, JACKSON stated that apparently they aust have nisinterpreted his suggestion as an outright request for money.

INSTRUCTION OF ΘἿΞ ἬΛΙΣ, REGARDING PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES TO JIMALLEX, INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHERS _

On Movember 18, 1964, JIM ALLEN was heard to remark that he had recently taiked to GUS HALL, General Secretary, Communist Party (CP), USA, and that HALL had approved that , hereafter all royalties from material reprinted by the CP, Soviet Union (CPSU) in the Soviet Union were to be paid directly to him, ALLEN, at International Publishers and were not to be transmitted directly to HALL.

The foregoing matter was taken up and discussed with GUS HALL on November 21, 1964, At the tine he was informed that the information that JIM ALLEN had relayed was contrary to BALL's earlier instruction and also contrary to advice rosently sont to the CPSU on bie trauismltial ui σὰ royalty payments to the United States. It was further pointed out to HALL that if he had actually approved thie direct yvoyalty payment to ALLEN, as ALLEN had stated, HALL no longer would have a complete accounting of all such monies funneled inte the United States, HALL's response was that he realized the consequences of his decision on this matter regarding the direct payment of royalties but he stated that ALLEN had requested this authority because of financial needs for the operation of International Publishers and he had therefore given his approval, Since this was a change in previous policy, GUS HALL instructed that representatives of the CPSU should be advised.

During the latter part of November, 1964, Gus ‘HALL, General Secretary, Communist Party (CP), USA, during discussion with a representative of the Cr, UBA who wat planning travel to the Soviet Union in the near future for negotiations with officiais of the CP, Soviet Union {CRED} turned over to that individual a letter prepared by PHIE.-FRANKFELD of New Era Books, New York, New York. ‘The instructious of HALL in regard to this letter were that it was to be takon up with representatives of the CPSU as well as with representatives of Mezhdunnrodaja Kniga, the Soviet government agency responsible for the duport and export of printed naterisi.

The full text of the foregoing letter was az

1) In February 1961, when we met the Commercial Coun- selor of Mexhkniga in Washington, D.C. it was agread that the large, unsold stock of Imported Books & Publications be turned over tea the new enterprise then known as WORLD BOOKS. THESE AND BROCHURES (ALL IN ENGLISH) WERE NEVER RECEIVED BY US. INSTEAD FHEY WERE TURRED OVE FOUR CONTINENT BOOS

4) Many times, right up to the present, we have received shipments fax in excess of what we bad ordered. This included; Plekhanev: Selected Philosophical Works Yol. 1; Vols. 7 and 22 of Lenin's Collected Works; The History of the C.P.8.0, (And revised edition, 1963)- we ordered 100 and received 500 copies~ and 6,500 copies of the set of 5 brochures of Khrushchev. This entailed making unnecessary paynents of customs duty, postage and labor. it is true that much later on we received credit invoices, but the immediate expenses bit in deeply when νὰ could little afford it,

5) Three good customers of oura are now ordering directly from Mezhknige. These are: Progressive Book Shop in Los Angeles, Calif; International Booka in San Francisce, Calif; and Morning Freiheit in New York, who recdives Sovetish Heinland, Thus our business hag suffered as reaault.

6) Four Continent Book Corp. has exclusive rights in New York to import Soviet books in the Russian Ukrainian languages. When we have requested an exclusive to a few special tities IN ENGLISH, like the Centenary edition of Reminiscences of Stanislavaky, IT WAS REFUSED.

7) There is no uniform pricing syaten sztablishad for English boexs. The result is cut-throat competition, Cross World Book Store in Chicago, 111, offers Soviet books in English

at bargain basement rates. Such practices negate the mcholastic and literary value of Soviet books. It crantes the impress#ion of being a propaganda effort and not sexvlous business venture.

8) There are no centrola in the foreign market either. Soviet boaka in English, Russian, Ukrainian and other languages can be imported here by individual entreprenours froa England, France, Canada, Israel etc. f€and they do not have to register}. These firus in other lands do not have to pay the high customs duty, postage & overhead we do, with the reault that they can afford to undersell American importers.

9) Six months ago, we sent two American students down to the Soviet wission at the United Nations to pick up several pamphiets we did not heve in stock. Ome case back Several monthe ister. He informed us that he was shle to obtain tne pamphlets he needed, SUT HE ALSO RECEIVED GRATIS COPIES OE FYNDAMONTALG OF MALAAZSA-LENINISM, GER ἘΣΣΙ oF THE C,P,8.U0:; REMINISCENCES OF LENIN: ALL THE SPEECHES OF KHRUBHCHEY PUBLISHED IN BOOK PAMPRLET FORM, RIC. One cannot compete, Jet alona make sales, when such materials are given away froe.

10} Comeittments have been made at various tines by your representatives for monies allocated for promotion, advertising and direct mailings. Yet, time and again, we have had to write and request that those committments be fulfilled by you. We received $1,000.00 in January 1964 for promotion and mallings agreed upon for 1963; and then this $1,000,00 is added to the 1964 allocation. Tt is distasteful and a disagreeable task to have to remind Hezhknigan about its promises and obligations.

Finally, on our part we have met every payment and obligation to Mezhkniga, On February 6th, 1964 we sent a copy of our financial report prepared by our accountant to Mr. Gradov. It showed that we paid $3,086.99 to Mezhkniga in 1963 through the Chase Manhattan Bank. In 1962, we paid Mexhkniga over $5,000.00 through the Chase Manhattan Bank. We know that we paid Mezhkniga aver $2,000,00 from June 25th through Sept. 2nd of thiw year. The same report referred to above which was sent to Mr, Gradov showed that Mr. Knight received a total of $2,395.75 in wages for the year 1963, whereas Mr, Frankfeld's total drawings for that same year amounted to $2,700.00.

Om the other band, we do know that substantial outstanding debts due to Mezhkniga by various othee firss were cancelled,

This memorandum recommends that information obtained by NY 694~S* concerning a meeting of an Editorial Commission scheduled 4 to be held in Moscow, Russia, on 3/1/65, to deal with the Sino-Soviet dispute, be disseminated to the White House, Secretary of State Rusk, Director McCone of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the jC tetine Attorney General. Ν ~

On 11/27/64 NY 694-S* met with his Soviet contact, Vladimir A. Chuchukin, an official of the Soviet Mission to the United Nations, Chuchukin and NY 694-S* exchanged messages between the Central Conmmit~ tee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CCCPSU), and the Communist Party, USA (CBUSA). - ~

ΤᾺ its message to the CCCPSU, the CPUSA stated it was in complete agreement with the decision to postpone until 3/1/65 the meeting of the Editorial Commission originally scheduled to be held in Moscow on 12/15/64. The CPUSA cautioned that any public announce- ment iceancerning the postponement must be extremely circumspect so ag) not to convey the impression that a capitulation was being made to the Communist Party of China. ᾿

The message sent by the CCCPSU to the CPUSA pointed out that of the twenty~six communist parties invited to attend the Editorial Cofix. ssion meeting, Mineteen had definitely indicated they would atténd the meeting. Japan and Indonesia indicated that they desired wdditvional information concerning the meeting prior to making a ‘Aecision to attend. Rumania advised it would not attend unless all the

othe bwenty-five communist parties invited had definitely agreed to Vattends Albania, China, North Korea and North Vietnan refused to attend ‘the: meéfing under any circumstances. The CCCPSU indicated that it has

the contents of such a letter verbally. The Soviet stated that he would transmit to the informant 3 message which had been received in a letter, the content of which the Soviets had not had time to code or cipher. The informant then said to the Soviet, "tell your chief that this is the second time this week when he has insulted my General Secretary by not trusting him with an actual letter, and that although I am capable of remembering what you tell me, it would be best for all concerned that an actual letter be transmitted". (Ny 694-S% stated that when he later advised HALL that the message transmitted to HALL had originally arrived frau Movcow in a orm of a letter, HALL said that "the bastards are too secretive to give me such a letter",

CHUCHUKIN then told the informant that originally Ϊ 26 CPs had been invited to participate at the December 15th 1 conference in Moscow. He stated that the CPs of the following { countries, in addition to the Soviet Union, had indicated that they would be willing to attend the December 15th meeting:

~- Australia ~Argentina . i —Bulgaria * Brazil

The United Kingdom Hungary H —The German Democratic Republic } - Germany i . India | —_ italy Cuba

Mongolia

Paiand - syria

USA - BPinland -France —Czechoslovakia

CHUCHUKIN stated that China, North Korea, North

NY 100-134637

Vietnam and Albania had refused to attend the conference under any circumstances,

According to CHUCHUKIN, Japan and Indonesia had advised that before agreeing to attend the aforesaid December 15th conference, they desired to receive more information with respect thereto. Rumania, he stated, had informed the Soviets that it would not send delegates to the conference unless all of the other a5 ΟΡ would abiend the said meeting.

with the various CPs invited to the said conference, the soviets decided that it would be best that not only the aforesaid 26 attend the conference, but that all other

CPs throughout the world be invited to attend the conference, |

CHUCHUKIN rurther stated that after consultations |

On November 30, 1964, there was received from the Soviets via radio, a cipher-coded message, the plain text of which is as follows:

"please inform us whether your decision to send @ group of CP members to Moscow at thebeginning of December is still valid, taking into account our information in respect of time of Editorial Commission meeting." (The Significance of this message, is according to NY 694-s*, that the Soviets desire to be informed whether, in view of the postponement of the December 15th meeting to March 1, 1965, the CPUSA still intended to send a delegation to Moscow in early December.)

On 11/30/64, NY 694~S* transmitted to the Soviets, via the secondary channel, ISADORE GIBBY NEEDLEMAN, several partially coded messages, the plain texts of which are as follows:

1. "Central Committee CPSU "In answer to your radio message of today ~ November 30 - the decision you requested was made several days ago. No

2. "Central Committee CPSU

'this is in answer to your proposal to postpone the Prepacatory EdLtoclul Combustion σης wich wis scheduled for December 15th. We, too, agree that it is advisable to postpone the meeting to March 1, 1965.

Nwhen making the announcement of the postponement of this meeting, we must guard against misinterpretation in the direction that this postponement is a capitulation in the struggle against the wrong ideological and political concepts of the CP of China.

"the supporters of the anti-Marxist~-Leninist position of the Chinese CP are working day and night promoting the following false comcept: that Khrushchev was the culprit in the ideological struggles and now that Khrushchev has been removed, with that removal went ail of the policies and theories that the Chinese CP has been fighting against. Therefore, 811 those who have supported these Marxist-Leninist positions must ail go the way of Khrushchev.

"they are pushing the idea that Khrushchev was removed only or mainly because of his wrong ideas in the ideological struggles. There is no question in my mind that this has created some confusion and hesitation in the ranks and even among some elements of the leadership of the CPUSA. Therefore, whatever is done must be done in such a way that it does not give credence to any idea that the Chinese ΟΡ after all has been correct in this struggle.

The haste and the sharpness of the last editorial of the Chinese CP was helpful in dispersing these hesitations.

Details Surrounding VLADIMIR CHUCHUKIN's Meeting in Queens,

NY, 11/27/64, with "Man from CPt

On 11/27/64, in late afternoon, informant entered the KGB quarters in the NY Residency and shortly thereafter visited the KGB radio room.

| VLADIMIR SHOKIN, Third Secretary at the Soviet Mission, and an employee of the Sectientific and Technical Branch (STB) of the KGB in NY, was on duty in the radio room at the time. With SHOKIN in the radto room was VSEVOLOD I, GAPON, Third Secretary at the Soviet Mission, who has previously been identified by the informant as an employee of the KGB in the NY Residency. Informant engaged both of these individuals in conversation, at which time he noticed on the desk in the radio room a written message indleating that "YULI" (VLADIMIR CHUCHUKIN) was scheduled to have a meeting in Queens, NY, that evening with a "man from P,

Informant advised on 11/30/64, that accord- ing to this notethemeeting was scheduled for 7 p.m. on 11/27/64, rather than 8 p.m, as the informant had reported by telephone fe hee interviewing 8 ents ΤῊ mistak e . nformant realize s mistake ater Rosato eee EME hecond bine folowing Rie ΤΣ ES wo, Informant said he learned through conversa- tion with SHOKIN that this message had been left with SHOKIN in order to alert him for any FBI radio transmissions indicating an interest in VLADIMIR CHUCHUKIN. Informant said he learned at this time that GAPON was standing by in the radio room in the event SHOKIN heard any radio transmissions indicating FBI interest in CHUCHUKIN. In such an eventuality, GAPON was to leave KGB quarters and the Soviet Mission and go to a public telephone and place

- δι.

a 6511 to telephone number EV 2-9 175 at precisely 6:45 p.m., 88 CHUCHUKIN would be standing by at that number at that time to receive a possibile warning signal. GAPON told the informant that if he made this call CHUCHUKIN would not answer the telephone. GAPON said he would merely let the telephone at CHUCHUKIN's end ring twice, and would then hang up. He said that by prearrangement this would alert CHUCHUKIN to the fact that the FBI was interested in him that evening, and that CHUCHUKIN should not take further steps to carry out his meeting.

Informant noted that in the event of an emergeney GAPON was to warn CHUCHUKIN by telephone just 15 minutes before the time of CHUCHUKIN'S scheduled meet- ing.

Informant said he conversedin the radio room until 6 p.m., at which time SHOKIN was relieved of duty by VLADIMIR KAZAKOV, an Economic Affairs officer employed at the UN Secretariat in NY, whom informant has previously identified as an employee of the KGB Residency in NY. Informant stated that he remained in the radio room until approximately 6:30 p.m., and up until that time no transmissions were heard iIndicat- ing any FBI interest in CHUCHUKIN that evening. Informant said that at the time he left the radio room, KAZAKOV and GAPON had just about decided that there would be no necessity for making a telephone call to CHUCHUKIN at the above mentioned number.

On Saturday, 11/28/64, informant arrived in the KGB quarters at the Soviet Mission at approximately 9:30 a.m. Informant saw GAPON at this time, as well as CHUCHUKIN, and stopped to speak with them, although he made no reference to the events of the night before.

~

During their conversation, however, GAPON asked CHUCHUKIN how he had "made out" on the previous evening. CHUCHUKIN, in reply, and in the Inform~ ant's presence, said that he had carried out his meeting successfully without incident, and noted that he had not observed anyone following him prior te his meeting.

Informant said that CHUCHUKIN made no further reference to the affair, and did not indicate to GAPON where the meeting had taken place nor did he furnish any. information concerning the individual whom he had met, Informant said that neither he nor GAPON asked CHUCHUKIN any further questions, and informant remarked that he has no additional information to offer at this time relative to this meeting.

Informant asked the interviewing agents at this point whether they had observed CHUCHUKIN on the evening of 11/27/64, and whether they had subse- quently observed CHUCHUKIN meeting with the "man from cP," The agents advised informant that CHUCHUKIN had not been "covered’ on this occasion by them, and it was pointed out to him that his telephone call reporting detalis of this meeting was most appreciated, but that unfortunately the call was made just prior to 5 p.m. on 11/27/64, with the result that the agents had insufficient time to arrange suitable and appropriate, discreet coverage of CHUCHUKIN, and subsequently, his meeting with the "man

om CP,

Informant appeared to the interviewing agents to be disappointed that this meeting had not been observed, and an identification of the CP representa- tive established. Informant remarkéd, "You made a mistake,"

~ ho

He indicated that it was his feeling that this meeting should have been "covered" by the agents to establish the identity of the representative of the CP, USA. Informant was told that it was unfortunate that more time had not been available, but that perhaps another opportunity would present itself in the future.

The above explanation was given to the informant since it was felt unwise for the interviewing agents to advise the informant that the agents were aware of the identity of the representative of the CP, with whom CHUCHUKIN met.

Informant was graciously thanked for the telephone call he had gone to the trouble to make to inform the agents of this meeting, and was requested to continue the same practice in the future in the event he obtained more data concerning another such meeting between CHUCHUKIN and the CP representative. Informant said that he had no assurance he would obtain any additional information concerning future meetings involving these individuals since CHUCHUKIN was slated to return to the Soviet Union permanently some time in the early part of 1965. He assured agents, however, that if information came to his attention concerning subsequent meetings between CHUCHUKIN and this CP representative he would make ali details in his possess-~ ion available to the agents.

Additional information obtained during the interview of 11/30/64, will be furnished to the Bureau by means of a separate airtel.

Informant said he had just learned, by visit- the KGB ratio voom, that VLADIMIR CHUCHUKIN, an employee of the Poliitiea2 Branch of the KGB Residency In NY, was to have a mectire that same evening ab 8 p.m. in Queens, NY, with a "nan from the CP." Informant said that he did not know the preeise location where this meeting would take place, nor did he know the identity of the individual with whom CHUCHUKIN would meet. He stated, however, that at 6:45 p.m. CHUCHUKIN would be standing by at telephone number EV 2-9175 for a possible signal. Inform- ant explained that in the event the KGB radio room picked up any FBI transmissions indicating an interest in CHU- CHUKIN that evening, someone from the KGB Residency would make a telephone cail by means of a public telephone to CHUCHUKIN at EV 2-9175 to warn him not to go through with his meeting. Informant said that in the event CHUCHUKIN received such a call he was not to answer the telephone. Informant said the caller would allow the telephone at CHUCHUKIN's end to ring twice and would then hang up. Informant said that this would serve as a warn~ ing to CHUCHUKIN that the FBI was interested in his acti- vities that evening and that he should not pursue his meeting further. ,

Informant, in response to a question, stated that this information had come to his attention when he visited the KGB radio room a short time before. He said he was not in a position to furnish any additional details concerning the meeting at this time, but remarked that he would acquaint the interviewing agents with the circum- stances as to how he secured this data when next he met with them.

informant said he particularly wanted to convey this information to the agents since he considered CHU-~ CHUKIN's meeting with a representative of the CP, USA, to be important and because he had been able to obtain the telephone, as mentioned above, where CHUCHUKIN could be located aoproximately 124 hours prior to the time of his scheduici seebting.

Infommant sald he had no other pertinent information to furnish at this time.

A review of the stationary plant lookout logs reflected that the informant entered the Soviet Mission puiiding at 136 East 67th Street, NYC, at aporoximately 4:23 p.m. on 11/27/64. He then left tae Mission building at approximately 4:50 p.m., and was again observed enter- ing the Mission building at approximately 5:22 p.m. that same evening.

The Bureau WLLL be kept advised of developments in this case.
